Nedster's World now featuring Ellis!

I got a smack on the nose from my friend Eva at nursery last wednesday. It gave me a nose bleed, it was well worth it though as we were arguing over a book. I also enjoyed milking my injury for the rest of the day.
The following day I took a big old tumble on Ned's school climbing frame too, I gave that one a good milking too. It was a shame actually as i'd climbed up really well.
In more academic news, i've been really getting into my phonics lately, i've even learned to write my name:

I managed to find the time to let Ned give me a ride around the house though:

What have I been into this week? Fractions...loving those and am throwing questions and answers around all over the place.
And what am I not loving this week.....? Not having lost any teeth yet like loads of my friends. I haven't even got any wobbly ones for goodness sake.
We went to Legoland on saturday, it's shutting for the winter soon so we thought we should get another trip in.
As usual, Dad and I got the rubbish boat and Mum and Ellis took off into the distance:

I got to give the pirate baddie from the show a high five.
I hid from him, he looked a bit of a meanie!
We rode on the carousel:

And I shared the spinny seat with another couple of children:

I used all the same techniques as Dad does to make sure we spun super fast...the others loved it!
Then I called Mum's bluff and decided I wanted a go on the log flume, I never want a go on the log flume:

It was brilliant and we didn't even get that wet!

Dad took us for a spin on the spiders web ride:

He obvioulsy didn't spin it fast enough as he didn't feel sick when he got off.

The biggest most exciting thing for though was going on the viking river rapids ride as I was finally tall enough. I loved it too, especially when we got soaking wet.

So that was our last trip for the year done and dusted.

Sunny sunday morning cuddle club:

And then in the afternoon it was Joshua's first birthday party, and a very good turnout of us kids and their accompanying grown up's:

We had a lovely time and hope you had a happy birthday young man!

Here I am as my super hero alter ego, Ellis the Zebra:

Well, that brings us up to yesterday, the day we said our final goodbyes to our great Grandma.

Yes thats right, it was her funeral yesterday. There were a few good things about it though, first off we got to ride in a limo with Mum, Dad, Alan and Hayley all in the back.

We also got to listen to some really good stories about her life during the service.

I made sure I kept things lively by responding nice and loud when I thinght the Vicar bloke needed some added atmosphere. He really liked that i think.

Almost as much as he liked Auntie Trish's and Auntie Christines singing during the hymns!

We headed off to the pub afterwards, the ladies there made me a special marmite sandwich which went down well.

We had a game of giant connect four in the garden (thanks Anne)

And a great chase around with Grandad!

So, (Great) Grandma then...not the most agile and a little forgetfull at times perhaps, but she always had a fridge full of chocolate (only ever Dairy Milk!) and a purse full of ice cream money. Best of all though, she had a lovely smiley face whenever she saw us and we took her out to play with us...

and of course, she was always on our side.

Not many kids get to have a great Grandma at all!
